See what the critics are saying about Look Back in Anger and Roots at Almeida Theatre. The plays are running in a double bill through late November.

If Roots is the demure first part of the Almeida’s “Angry and Young” season, Look Back in Anger is the explosive finale. How could it not be when the human flamethrower Jimmy Porter is the burning star at the centre of its orbit?
